Topic 18 – HL Acids/Bases18.1 – Calcs involving Acids and Bases
18.1 Calculations involving acids and bases - 4 hours• 18.1.1 State the expression for the ionic product constant of water (Kw).
(1) • 18.1.2 Deduce [H+(aq)] and [OH–(aq)] for water at different
temperatures given Kw values. (3) • 18.1.3 Solve problems involving [H+(aq)], [OH–(aq)], pH and pOH. (3) • 18.1.4 State the equation for the reaction of any weak acid or weak
base with water, and hence deduce the expressions for Ka and Kb. (1) • 18.1.5 Solve problems involving solutions of weak acids and bases using
the expressions: Ka × Kb = Kw, pKa + pKb = pKw, pH + pOH = pKw. (3) • 18.1.6 Identify the relative strengths of acids and bases using values of
Ka, Kb, pKa and pKb. (2)
18.1.1 – The water constant Kw
• 18.1.1 State the expression for the ionic product constant of water (Kw). (1)
• When water is purified by repeated distillation its electrical conductivity falls to a very low (and constant) value
• This means that pure water dissociates to a small extent to form ions– H2O(l) ⇌ H+(aq) + OH-(aq)
– 2H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)– From last class:
• Kw = [H+(aq)]x[OH-(aq)]
18.1.1 – Kw value
• This value of Kw is known as the ionic product constant of water. – @298K (25oC) Kw = 1x10-14
• [H+] = 1x10-7
• [OH-] = 1x10-7
– No matter the value of Kw (as it changes depending on the surrounding conditions), concentrations of [H+] and [OH-] will equal each other in pure water
– If [H+] of a solution goes up, [OH-] must go down, and visa versa
12.1.2 – Kw at different Temps
• 18.1.2 Deduce [H+(aq)] and [OH–(aq)] for water at different temperatures given Kw values. (3)
• Water becomes increasingly dissociated and hence acidic as the temperature rises
• This accounts for the corrosive action of hot pure water on iron pipes: [H+] ions increased– The concentrations of ions [H+] and [OH-] both increase equally, so the
solution is neutral, but…
Temperature 0oC 25oC 40oC 100oC
Kw
(mol2 dm-6) 0.11x10-14 1.0x10-14 2.9x10-14 51.3x10-14
18.1.2 – Kw changes!
18.1.2 – Enthalpy of Dissociation• Dissociation of water is an Endothermic process: – Topic 05 – energy is needed to separate oppositely
charged ions– Topic 07 – Le Châtelier’s principle predicts that
increasing the temperature will favor the reaction that absorbs the heat (negates change) in this case, the endothermic process
– Increasing Kw values also tells that there is an increase in products of the equilibrium (more [H+] and [OH-])• H2O(l) ⇌ H+(aq) + OH-(aq)
18.1.2 – Example: Kw at 60oC
• At 60oC, the ionic product constant of water is 9.6x10-14 mol2dm-6. Calculate the pH of a neutral solution at this temperature– Remember, what does neutral mean? – What equations will we use?
18.1.3 – Inverse Scales of pH/pOH
• 18.1.3 Solve problems involving [H+(aq)], [OH–
(aq)], pH and pOH. (3) • This material was covered in SL Topic 08, for
review please revisit those slides• Conversions should be simple between: – pH– pOH– [H+]– [OH-]
18.1.3 – Calc Examples
• Calculate the pH of 0.01 mol dm-3 NaOH(aq)• Calculate the pH of 0.01 mol dm-3 Ba(OH)2
• Calculate the pH of 0.01 mol dm-3 sulfuric acid– Hint: think about the strong/weak properties of sulfuric acid and it’s
conjugates as it’s deprotonated
• A solution of HNO3(aq) contains 1.26g of the pure acid in every 100cm3 of aqueous solution. Calculate the pH of the solution
• A solution of NaOH(aq) contains 0.40g in every 50cm3 of aqueous solution. Calculate the pH of the solution
18.1.3 – pH of very dilute soln’s• Talbot brings up a good point, when calculating the
pH of very dilute solutions of acid (say 1.0x10-8 mol dm-3 HCl(aq)) , students often run into the following problem: – -log[1.0x10-8] = 8 (but this value is basic??)– This does not take into account that there are two
sources of H+ ions (the water and HCl)• [H+]Total = [H+]H20 + [H+]HCl
– At higher concentrations of acid, the [H+] contribution from water is insignificant and can be neglected. But when [H+] < 1.0x10-6
• So for 1.0x10-8 moldm-3 HCl: – [H+]Total = [H+]H20 + [H+]HCl
• Let [H+]H20 = y
• Then OH is also, [OH-]H20 = y
• Substitute: • [H+]Total = [H+]H20 + [H+]HCl
• [H+] x [OH-] = 1x10-14
– [[H+]H20 + [H+]HCl ] x [OH-] = 1x10-14
– [ y + (1.0x10-8) ] x [y] = 1x10-14
• y2 + (1.0x10-8)y – (1.00x10-14) = 0
• Solve for y = 9.5x10-8 = [H+]H2O • [H+]total = [H+]H20 + [H+]HCl = 9.5x10-8+1.0x10-8
• [H+] total = 10.5x10-8
• pH = 6.98 so the solution is weakly acidic
Just for your info, to my knowledge this is not going to be a tested
concept
18.1.3 – Negative pH values
• The scale is 0-14, but negative and 14+ values are possible
• 12M HCl, pH = -1.1 (Commercially available HCl)• 10M NaOH, pH = 15.0 (Saturated NaOH)• There are some complications when it comes to
calculations based on highly concentrated solutions• We must think about the effective concentration of ions
in solution, and not just those potentially in solution– Generally, calculations in IB Chemistry, especially on the IB
exam, will be in the 0-14 range.
18.1 – Terms for AB Equilibrium
• Acid ionization constant (Ka) – equilibrium constant for the ionization of an acid.• pKa = -log10Ka
• Base ionization constant (Kb) – equilibrium constant for the ionization of a base.• pKb = -log10Kb
• Ionic product constant for water (Kw) – equilibrium constant for the ionization of water • Kw 1.0x10-14 Only @25oC• pKw = -log10Kw pKw = 14
18.1 – Ka vs pKa and its conjugates
• HCl(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)– Strong acids have weak conjugate bases– Weak acids have strong conjugate bases– Strong bases have weak conjugate acids– Weak bases have strong conjugate acids
HCl(aq) H2O(l) H3O+(aq) Cl-(aq)
Strong Acid Weak Base Strong Acid Weak Base
Large Ka Small Kb Large Ka Small Kb
Small pKa Large pKb Small pKa Large pKb
18.1.4 – Acid Dissociation Constant• A weak monobasic (monoprotic) acid, HA, reacts
with water as follows: – HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A-(aq)
• The equilibrium constant for this reaction – Ka =
– The Ka for a strong acid is obviously much larger than for a weak acid as the equilibrium is almost completely to the right (Kc is BIG)
– Ka(strong) = Ka(weak) =
18.1.4 – Ka to pKa Conversion• Ka values, because often small (for weak acids) can be
represented as pKa values– -log10Ka = pKa
– Smaller pKa values are stronger
– Bigger Ka values are stronger– Just like the pH scale, a change of 1 is a factor of 10; change of
2, a factor of 100– Ka values for strong acids are not usually quoted as the
reactions go to completion and approach infinity in dilute solutions.
– Only changes in Temp affect the Ka, Kb, or Kc
18.1 – Finding pH of solutions
• For a strong acid, use the [H+] and –log• For a strong base, use the [OH-] and 14-(–log)• For a weak acid, you must use the given value
of Ka and the equilibrium expression– Ka =
• For a weak base, you must use the given value of Kb and the equilibrium expression– Kb =
18.1 – Assumptions are for the Weak!
• We make the assumption for weak acid and bases that the dissociated conjugate product concentrations are negligible (insignificant) compared to the original concentration of the reactant:
• HA + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)
99% ~1%• BOH + (aq) ⇌ OH-(aq) + B+(aq) 99% ~1%
– This will make our calculations much easier, but we must first confirm this assumptions correctness
18.1 – I.C.E. charts
• In the calculations to follow we will use a very important chart that you’ve already been exposed to in HL equilibrium calculations
• The I.C.E. chart stands for: – I: Initial concentration– C: Change in concentration– E: Equilibrium concentrationAcid or Base + ion - ion

18.1 – Ex #1 Solving for pH of weak acid
• Calculate the pH of a 1.00 mol dm-3 aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid, HF(aq), given that the acid dissociation constant for HF is 7.2x10-4
– HF(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + F-(aq)– Ka =
–Ka =
HF(aq) mol dm-3 H+(aq) mol dm-3 F-(aq) mol dm-3
Initial 1.00 0 0
Change - x + x + x
Equilibrium Conc 1.00 - x + x + x
Now we make the assumption! That x is insignificant compared to the initial concentration! So 1.00-x =1.00
18.1 – Assumption Verified!• Ka = 7.2x10-4 =
If no assumption, solve quadratic: x2 + (7.2x10-4)x - (7.2x10-4 x 1.00) = 0ax2 + bx + c = 0a = 1b = 7.2x10-4
c = -7.2x10-4
= 2.65x10-2 = [H+]-log[H+] = pH = 1.57
x2 = 7.2x10-4 x 1.00x = x = 2.68x10-2 x = [H+]-log[H+] = pHpH = 1.57

18.1 – Things to know about pK values
• pKa and pKb numbers are usually positive w/o units
• Stronger acids or bases with high values for Ka or Kb have lower values for pKa and pKb respectively
• A change in one unit of pKa or pKb represents a 10-fold change in the value of Ka or Kb
• pKa and pKb must be quoted at a specific temperature, generally 25oC for standard conditions and measurements
• High values of Ka for an acid will have low values of Kb for its conjugate base (make sense?)
• Ka • Kb = [H+][OH-] = Kw
18.1 – Examples of Values for A/B
Acid Formula Ka pKa
Methanoic HCOOH 1.8x10-4 3.75
Ethanoic CH3COOH 1.8x10-5 4.76
Propanoic C2H5COOH 1.4x10-5 4.87
Base Formula Kb pKb
Ammonia NH3 1.8x10-5 4.75
Methlyamine CH3NH2 4.6x10-4 3.34
Ethylamine C2H5NH2 4.5x10-4 3.35
As you can see, large Ka values result in smaller pKa values:
The same is true for values of Kb and pKb:
18.1 – Ex #2 Solving for Kb of weak base
• Calculate the Kb for a 0.100 mol dm-3 aqueous solution of methylamine, CH3NH2, at 25oC. Its pH is 11.80 at this temperature– At 25oC, pH + pOH = 14.00, so pOH = 2.20– [OH-] = 10-pOH = 10-2.20 = 6.30x10-3
– CH3NH2 (aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ CH3NH3+(aq) + OH-(aq)
– Kb = CH3NH2(aq) M CH3NH3

18.1 – Ex #3 Solving for pH of weak base
• A 0.20 mol dm-3 aqueous solution of ammonia has Kb of 1.8x10-5 at 25oC, what is the pH?– NH3(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ NH4

Change - x + x + x
Equilibrium Conc 0.20 - x + x + x
Now we make the assumption! That x is insignificant compared to the initial concentration! So 1.00-x =1.00
18.1 – Ex#3 pH of weak base
• Kb = 1.8x10-5 =
We have already proved that the assumption works so long as the value of Kb (or Ka) is significantly less than the concentration of the base or acid. The general rule is 100 to 1000 times (or more) difference between the two and you’re ok
